Brilliant Balance: Summer Break Strategies for Working Moms

Summer Break Strategies for Working Moms

Jun 6, 2023

When summer begins for your kids, not much changes for YOU in terms of work life and rhythm, especially if you’re a working mom.

Meanwhile your kids are clamoring for even more attention and care than during the school year.

As a working mom, summer is the time when kids' lives change pretty dramatically; their rhythm and daily structures are entirely different but yours aren’t.

You still have to wake up early, go to bed on time and give them the attention and care they need to make the summer a memorable one.

And that can be exhausting.

So what do you do when they have a summer but you don’t? And how can you and your kids have an amazing summer break even if you have to work full-time?

In this episode, you’ll learn how to create a summer schedule that helps you maximize time with your kids even if you work full-time. You’ll also learn how to have an amazing summer break along with your children.
